JESS3 Launches 'The State of Cloud Computing'
Plans Continued Growth of 'State of' Series
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading data visualization firm JESS3 today released "TheStateofCloudComputing," which narrates the history of cloud computing and demonstrates the growing cloud economy.
The State of Cloud Computing follows two previous releases in the series: TheStateoftheInternet, released in February 2010, and TheFutureofRevenue, released with Eloqua in October 2010. Additionally, the company is producing The State of Wikipedia for launch in conjunction with Wikipedia's 10th anniversary (slated for early 2011).
The State of Cloud Computing highlights not only the staggering investment in cloud-based businesses -- up from $25.7MM in 2005 to $374.8MM in 2009 -- but also spotlights the multitude of possibilities that cloud computing offers, from sharing videos and photos from anywhere in the world, to storing and organizing data for remote access. Cloud-based brands including Skype, Dropbox, YouTube, Wikipedia, Yahoo, MSN, Gmail, Farmville and Twitter all make a debut in the video, as does KeyboardCat.
Jesse Thomas, JESS3 founder and CEO, noted how important this piece is not only for the web, but for his company. "With dozens of team members living all over the world, working in the cloud is critical for JESS3. In fact, I run my company 100% in the cloud. From sending files, to IM'ing, to collaborating on documents with each other and clients; what we do each day would not be possible without the freedom of the cloud."
Thomas added: "After having the State of the Internet strike a chord with the Internet far and wide, we are beyond excited to dive deep into the cloud and bring this concept to life with salesforce.com -- and, watch out, we are focusing serious resources in the future of this series in video, film and book format."
The three-minute video, funded by salesforce.com (CRM), a company which specializes in enterprisecloudcomputing, is hosted on the TheStateofCloudComputing.com. The microsite also serves to aggregate and visualize conversations and links about cloud computing based on relevant key words and the hashtag #SOCC on Twitter.
